Imagine The Possibilities
We’ve covered Imagine in the past, and let me tell you, the festival is magical, to say the least! This is the Southeast’s most immersive electronic festival that brings the heat with this lineup, as they do every year! Just imagine the possibilities of a festival like this. Phase One is magical, that is for sure! September 14th-17th, the festival touches down in Kingston Downs, GA. This is something we’ve all been anticipating for so long. Imagine promises to be truly immersive and includes not only the best music, but also art installations, wellness programming, and a vibrant community at one of North America’s most picturesque camping venues. For four days and nights, you’ll be grooving to the biggest and best in electronic music!
